LIV Golf UK Picks and Predictions

• Abraham Ancer each way at +2200 with Caesars Sportsbook

• Cameron Tringale top 10 at +190 with bet365

LIV Golf UK Intro

It would be entirely wrong to suggest that last week’s final major championship of the year - the British Open at Royal Portrush - was a bad one for LIV Golf performers.

After all, Bryson DeChambeau was sensational after posting an opening round of 78 - his final three rounds were probably the best golf of the tournament aside from the winner Scottie Scheffler.

But the sight of Joaquin Niemann kicking his bag as he left the final green after missing the cut was somehow emblematic of a problem LIV golfers have.

Because they have shone in the majors - and DeChambeau is undoubtedly one of the four best golfers on the planet right now - but many of the stars are underperforming in the events that define a career.

Niemann is sublime when playing on LIV, but he has one major top 10 in 26 starts. It’s an astounding contrast.

Meanwhile, Jon Rahm has never finished outside the top 11 at LIV. But he was a limp T34 last week, yet another failure to contend among many.

If that’s the bad news, the good news is that the JCB Golf & Country Club bounced 12 months ago like an Ibiza party venue.

Where better to shake off the major disappointments?

Contenders to Win LIV Golf UK

Bryson DeChambeau (+450) at bet365

The two-time US Open champion didn’t win last week at Royal Portrush, but he dug deep to land his second British Open top 10. He was T144 in a 156-man field after 18 holes, but then broke the British Open record for the low score over the final 54 holes. He did something similar at JCB last year: T48 after 18 holes before carding 65-67 to finish T11.

Jon Rahm (+550) at bet365

LIV Golf Dallas last month tripped the Spaniard up - his T11 was the very first time he had finished outside the top 10 on the circuit. But he will have fond memories of the JCB Club because last year it was the scene of his first-ever LIV win when he carded rounds of 63-70-67. Last time out on LIV, he carded a final round 65 at Valderrama to finish second.

Tyrrell Hatton (+650) at bet365

The majors have been frustrating for Tyrrell Hatton. He spent the first 36 holes of the Masters in the top six, then drifted to T14. He was a fast-finishing fourth in the US Open. Then he spent 54 holes in the top six in the British Open before ending the week T16. So close to a major championship breakthrough, but also so far. He finished second at LIV UK last year.

DeChambeau Can Set a Hot Pace

In his last six LIV starts, DeChambeau has grabbed one solo first round lead, two shared advantages, and also been fourth.

Of course, he had a slow start in this event last year and also last week, but on both occasions he more than displayed his capacity to go very low.

His popularity with the galleries is huge, and he thrives on it.

Expect him to receive a wave of encouragement in round one - and that he rides it too.

Back him each way with BetMGM offering +800.

Abraham Is the Ancer

The Mexican got off to a flyer 12 months ago, carding a 65 that had him second on the first round leaderboard.

And he has suggested, in his last two outings, that he is close to his best.

At LIV Dallas, he was second with 18 holes to play before finishing T16.

And last time out at LIV Andalucia he went the other way: T16 after 18 holes before racing to third place on Sunday evening.

He’s a quality act and can dig deep at the JCB.

Back him each way at +2200 with Caesars Sportsbook.

Tap into a Tringale Top 10

The American is a double header because he has both current form and course form.

In his last four starts, he has been fourth in the International Series Japan, T29 at LIV Virginia, ninth at LIV Dallas, and seventh at LIV Andalucia.

And 12 months ago, he carded rounds of 67-70-67 to finish sixth at the JCB Club. 

Keep it simple and take the +190 for another top 10 with bet365.
